Dean DR. HERBERT BYRNE CYRIL H. EICHEH Dean of Education Courteous, considerate, and Christ-cen- tered seem to be characteristics of the Bible college deans. These attributes, plus a will- ingness to help perplexed students, have earned the deans the praise and admiration of students at Fort Wayne Bible College. Along with their duties in the classroom, these workers of God find time to counsel and pray with any needy student. Realizing that Christ is the superior counselor, the deans offer their suggestions and t'hen sug- gest a talk with God. Many personal and academic problems have been solved, many decisions concerning future occupations have been made, and many hearts have been stirred because these people were faithful to their God given tasks. We, the student body, are proud to have Miss Sondregger, Mr. Eicher, Dr. Byrne, and Mr. Ranes represent us as our deans. Dean of Students RUTH SONDREG-GER Dean of Women 1, -1 ., K 2 'D' if M5 y .

Department of General Education Mr. Gallagher demonstrates the solar system. Although most of the programs of study of- fered by the college are somewhat specialized, the importance of general education is fully recognized in curriculum planning. The general education courses are derived from four main areas: natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, and communi- cation arts. These include studies in English com- position, English literature, world history, speech, and physical education, also included are introduc- tory courses in philosophy, psychology, sociology, biological science, physical science and music. Many of the education courses are offered in the first two years of college work, but some are trained through the last two years as well. The objectives of general education are Qlj to acquaint the student with the world around him, including sources of culture, important problems of today, and methods of seeking their solution, C25 to help the student acquire a Christian world view that encompasses and integrates all knowledge and ex- perience, CSD to prepare him for intelligent and sat- isfying living as an individual, in the home, and in societyg C45 to develop ability to express ideas clearly and effectively, CSQ to cultivate an appre- ciation of moral and aesthetic values: C65 to provide a sound basis for critical thinking and valid judg- ment, and, Q75 to help the student toward physical as well as mental well-being. General education courses are intended to ac- quaint the student with these important areas of knowledge, and to provide a foundation for any field of specialization which he may choose. Each subject is taught with the Christian interpretation, intending to give each student the understanding he needs. HARVEY L. MITCHELL, A.B., M.A. Registrar Spanish, Philosophy EUNI-CE J. CONRAD, A.
